"Brother Long, you'd better take care of me in the future, don't just think about Brother Chao when there are good things."

Hu Qian was incredibly quick-witted; he immediately reached out and took the suitcase from Hu Xinxin's hands, which was one of the reasons why he was accepted by everyone so quickly.

It's rare to find someone who can make Hu Xinxin, this little devil, behave obediently!

When the group arrived at the exit, an Alphard was already waiting there.

Everyone quickly got into the car and drove towards the Hu family's house.

The Hu family is a long-established political family. Hu's father is the eldest son in the family, with three younger brothers and four younger sisters.

The second and eldest sons went into politics, while the third and fourth sons joined the military.

Several of my younger sisters have also married and moved to the capital, so my family's foundation is deep-rooted and unbreakable!

Hu Kaiyang, the third generation, has four children; his second uncle, Hu Kaiming, has five; his third uncle, Hu Kailai, has three; his fourth uncle, Hu Kaihuan, has four; plus the children of his aunts, this is truly a large family!

Although the old man has retired, he is still in excellent health!

Hu Kaiming, Zhang Long's second uncle, is the executive vice mayor of Beijing, in charge of finance. That's why he cares so much about Zhang Long, since these are all real achievements!

When Zhang Long arrived at the Hu family compound, he was quite impressed. It was a two-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house). The old man of the Hu family did not live in a sanatorium, but lived here.

The grandchildren of the Hu family in the capital, as well as those who are not yet married, all live here.

After Zhang Long arrived, the first thing Hu Xinxin did was take him to meet her grandparents.

The old man glanced at Zhang Long a few times and nodded in satisfaction. The young man had clear eyes, did not flinch, and had a straight and strong posture.

I asked him a few more questions.

Zhang Long was incredibly honest. He would say he knew what he knew and didn't know what he didn't know. He even said that he only graduated from junior high school and that his success was all due to luck.

The old man's fondness for him skyrocketed. Who doesn't like honest and straightforward people, especially the older generation? They just love that.

On the other side, Grandma Hu was chatting with her granddaughter in another room.

This eldest granddaughter grew up with the elderly couple, and they doted on her terribly.

The elderly couple had been missing out on their four years of university life.

This time when I come back, I'm determined to let my granddaughter stay for a few more days.

Grandma Hu also extended her affection to Zhang Long, since old ladies tend to like good-looking children.

That's right, Grandma Hu has such unique taste; she just likes good-looking people.

"Grandma, do you think Grandpa might like Brother Long?"

Grandma Hu patted her hair and said, "Hmph, how dare he not like it!"

"Don't worry, with Grandma backing you up, the old man won't dare to do anything."

Zhang Long was already playing chess with the old man, but he played terribly, which made the old man very happy.

The two of them took turns eating each other's horses and cannons, having a great time.

So it's not unreasonable for others to think that he has incredible luck.

This fortune is like looking at flowers through the fog or the moon's reflection in the water; the higher one's position and power, the more deeply one believes in it.

The two of them were making quite a racket while playing chess. Hu Xinxin was worried, so she came over and peeked at them from outside the door for a couple of seconds before leaving, reassured.

With someone who can play chess with the old man for so long, what is there to worry about?

We'll have dinner here. Grandma Hu specially asked the chef to prepare a table full of her granddaughter's favorite dishes.

Zhang Long glanced around and wondered why there were so few people in this large family.

He looked around and saw that in addition to the nanny and cook, there were two medical consultants and two guards in the house.

There are only six kids still in high school; those who are in college or are already adults don't like to live here.

I come back to visit my father a few times a month, and staying for a few days is enough. Staying longer would only annoy him.

Besides, living outside is so much more comfortable. You can do whatever you want, no one will bother you, and you'll have a group of friends to play with.

Not long after dinner that evening, my second uncle, Hu Kaiming, came looking for me.

"Ah Long, hehe, don't be nervous!"

"Today is just a family gathering. I'm here to chat with you as Xin Xin's second uncle."

"Your company's revenue last quarter was a real surprise to us, but the company's reforms are not thorough enough."

"Your second uncle doesn't require you to move the company headquarters to Beijing. Just set up a second-tier branch office, like you did in Shanghai."

Zhang Long readily agreed to this question, since it didn't matter where he paid his taxes!

The conversation between the two parties was very pleasant, after all, it was said from the beginning that this was a family gathering.

His second uncle chatted with him for another ten minutes or so before being called away by a phone call; the executive vice mayor wasn't that free.

After their second uncle left, Hu Chao and the others dared to show themselves. With their elders around, they didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

However, their goal was destined to fail, because the old man came over with the chessboard again!

When Hu Chao and the others saw the old man, they smiled a little embarrassedly, greeted him, and then disappeared in a flash.

The old man shook his head helplessly: "These little monkeys are getting less and less cute as they grow up!"

Zhang Long didn't say anything, picked up the chessboard and started fiddling with it.

After three rounds, the old man pushed the chessboard aside, scrambled it, and said in a huff, "I'm not playing anymore! I'm not playing anymore!"

"There's no reason to keep losing. You were evenly matched with me this afternoon, how come you're suddenly so good now?"

"Did you secretly consult an expert using your phone?!"

A little embarrassed, Zhang Long put away his phone and quickly changed the subject: "Grandpa, do you have a mahjong set here? Let's play mahjong."

Actually, Hu Xinxin had told the old man about his hobbies beforehand; her grandparents' favorite game was mahjong.

After she entered high school, she often helped find people to go out and make parties.

Because the old man's chess skills are not good, he is the kind of person who is bad at chess but loves to play. Only by winning a few games against him will he stop bothering you to continue playing chess.

That's why Zhang Long came up with this idea. As soon as Zhang Long mentioned mahjong, the old man immediately perked up.

He walked to the door and called out, "Old woman, tell someone to bring out the mahjong table."

The four-player mahjong game lasted until almost midnight, and only ended after repeated urging from the healthcare doctor.

When Zhang Long and the others returned to Hu Xinxin's bedroom, he couldn't help but look around curiously.

It was a very ordinary room. As soon as you entered, there was a large wardrobe, and the wardrobe faced a bed.

There is a dressing table next to the bed, and a desk in front of the window.

Zhang Long walked to the desk, picked up a notebook from the table, and flipped through it.

"Holy crap, it's a diary."

He looked at Hu Xinxin with a strange expression, thinking to himself, "These days, who keeps a diary?"
